List of diplomatic missions in Greenland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page lists diplomatic missions resident in Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, which is physiographically a part of the continent of North America. At present, the country hosts 13 honorary consuls and two fully staffed consulates general in the capital city of Nuuk. The United States opened a consulate in 1940, following the Nazi occupation of Denmark, and closed the consulate in 1953. The United States, which, alongside the European Union and Iceland, is host to a Greenland Representative Office, officially opened a consulate general in the capital Nuuk in June 2020.[1][2][3]
